We are bouncing and dancing as you sing your lullaby,
Shouting "move" when you say "stay".
The tune of your flute is a rifle you shoot.
That lays us all down to be brave.
They love you we hate you.
They made you we break you today.
Breaking away.
We are painting the walls.
Making jokes out of laws.
Hiding sleeping pills under our tongues.
Shut the light, close the door, we spit them to the floor.
Then we are humming and strumming and a' banging on drums.
What did you know when you said we are wasting away?
How could you say?
How could you say we just waste away, waste away?
Big table not big enough.
How could you say we just waste away, waste away?
Humming and strumming and banging, a' banging on drums.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
We will not be lulled into slumber by you.
We will not be lulled into sleep.
For we've had a taste of this wondrous place,
And it's treasures we intended to keep.
We will not be lulled into slumber.
We will not be lulled into sleep.
For we've had a taste of this wondrous place,
And it's treasures we intended to keep.
For we've had a taste of this wondrous place,
And it's treasures we intended to keep.
So now when they say we just waste away, waste away.
You can say "Hey it's not so".
Why is it then that we're growing, and growing, and growing,
and growing and showing them all what we know?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
We will not be lulled into slumber by you.
La-dadada
For we've had a taste of this wondrous place.
La-dadada
We will not be lulled into sleep.
For we've had a taste of this wondrous place,
And it's treasures we intended to keep.
For we've had a taste of this wondrous place,
And it's treasures we intended to keep.
